| - | |
| WHILE sickness still my step detains | B |
| From scenes where vernal pleasure reigns | B |
| Where Spring has bath'd with dewy tear | C |
| The blossoms of the op'ning year | D |
| To soothe confinement's languid hours | B |
| You send a lavish gift of flowers | B |
| Midst whose soft odours mem'ry roves | B |
| O'er all the images she loves | B |
| Not long their sweetness shall prevail | E |
| Their rosy tints shall soon be pale | E |
| - | |
| Yet fancy in their fading hues | B |
| No emblem of our friendship views | B |
| Its firm fidelity shall last | F |
| When all the flowers of spring are past | F |
| And when life's summer shall be o'er | G |
| That summer which returns no more | H |
| Still friendship with perennial bloom | I |
| Shall soften half the winter's gloom | I |
